The side-quest started by talking to Ronvid of the Small Marsh in Velen is a good place to get this also. Its a 1v1 duel so there's no need to thin out any enemies,

I found this one to be more difficult than it seemed. I used a small bandit camp Northwest of Midcopse and killed all but one deserter. Be sure to watch the bar above the opponent and not him. I kept incorrectly blocking or missing all together because I was anticipating the red instead of waiting for it.
Thanks for the tip!!

Had no idea you could tell when to parry by the red flashing- and I'm level 23- I think I need to lie down for a sec

Did everything right and the achievement isn’t unlocking, thinned our enemies, 1 guy left, deflected when it turned red like 15 times in a row and no achievement.

Same as above. I've done it 10x+ multiple times and it is not unlocking...

Not going to downvote but it would be worth mentioning this doesn't work against 'heavy' human enemies (e.g. an enemy wielding those big axes) - would have saved me some time

Got this without trying in the brawl after asking about yennifer, can't use weapons, so it's pretty easy.

easy way to get this is at the start of the game, make sure tutorials are on and select them when prompted to.

now after you do the race with Ciri you will be in the courtyard, select to do the combat training with Vesemir and lock on to him, now after a few moves you will learn to parry then counter attack.

after Vesemir puts a shield up and you break that shield down by casting spells, he will then ask you to cast the Aard sign, don't do this and Vesemir will just keep attacking you and you can get the 10 counters easy, just wait until he moves to attack you and press LT.

do this 10 times and the achievement unlocks.

hope this helps.

He only uses strong attacks and only one at a time so it's super predictable!
By far the best place to do this.

If you miss any of the other solutions you can also do it when fighting people i.e when fighting one-on-one in taverns to become champion.

Easy to get this one in any of bandit camp. Kill all of bandit with bow and/or spears and leave one with the sword. After that use cn_LT to counter 10 of his sword attack and acho should pop.

The way I unlocked this was in the tutorial in the beginning. When finished with the tutorial you can choose to sheathe your sword or continue to practice. Continue to practice and hit the cn_LT when he is in mid swing successfully 10 times and it will unlock. You can do this against any soldier, just make sure to save first and he is alone. Soldiers just knock you out and take your money, they won't kill you.

No matter who I fought I just couldn't get to 10. Sometimes managed 8 or 9 before getting hit, the mix of the enemies fast and slow attacks are hard to predict. I found casting the Yrden trap which slow opponents help a load! Their health goes red and they slowly attack and you can hit cn_LT any time and he will counter. Easy!

As the description states, block and counter 10 times in a row to get the achievement.

I did this during "Face Me if You Dare" it was located a little south-east of Crow's Perch in Velen, You have to fight a delusional knight that is easy to deal with. he's also by himself so you don't have to worry about any other foe.

This was the last achievement I needed for 100% completion. I tried ALL of the above solutions and could not unlock it.

Until I went to Skellige, picked a town and saved before I selected a guard. I removed armor and put on a level 1 and level 3 sword(s). When I could see a red skull above the aggro'd guard, then I started to block his attacks. Then after 10 consecutive blocks with a kick back of the guard; the achievement unlocked. This was last night. Good luck. If you are at a high level, I think this may work for you. I also downloaded the latest patch.

With a sword equipped and in a fight, pressing cn_L2 just before an enemy with a weapon lands his blow causes you to perform a counter-attack.

The enemy health/stamina bar will also flash red, use this as a guide as well.


Find a group of soldiers, kill all but one and then keep blocking his strikes until you unlock the Trophy.

This is most easily done when you're down to one, fairly weak opponent (e.g., if you come across bandits, kill all but one). Simply face the one left and hit the cn_LT every time his health bar flashes to signal an attack.

You can also do this in the tutorial early in the game where you do the training session with Vesemir. During your combat with him, he'll have you break down a shield and then ask you to hit him with one more Aard. Instead of hitting him with the final spell, just wait and he'll continue to do simple attacks that you can counterattack.

This works best against human city guards with swords. Archers are also perfect as they always carry a sword. Look for a single city guard and counter 10 attacks in a row. You must press the block-button () just before the enemy is about to hit you. Always press the block-button when the enemy has his sword vertically in the air above his head (a fraction of a second after he starts swinging the sword and a fraction of a second before he hits you). Your timing needs to be perfect and it's going to take a few tries to complete.

The best place to do this is by the river, North of the Woesong Bridge fast travel point on the White Orchard map (first town you enter in the game). There's a friendly archer here. Attack him to start the fight. Doing so against friendly guards is great as they will only knock you out and not kill you. So if you mess up you will respawn right in front of the archer without any loading times and can keep trying. Getting knocked out will cost you money, so make a backup beforehand.

While this achievement may come naturally to some players over the course of their playthrough, there’s an easy method to follow in obtaining this. The best isolated location to quickly get this done is by the river docks in White Orchard, north of the Woesong Bridge fast travel point. Here, you’ll spot a friendly archer near the docks. Begin to attack him and he’ll draw his sword and start fighting back; at which point you can start working on the achievement.

To perform an effective counterattack, you will need to hold the left trigger (block) just before your opponent swings their swords and hits you. Your timing of the block will need to be very precise. If you mess up the fight with him, allow him to drain your health. Instead of killing you, he’ll knock you out and you’ll respawn right in front of him.

NOTE: One may opt to get this achievement during the game’s tutorial. When practicing with Vesemir, he will begin to attack you frequently after the Quen and Igni Sign demonstrations. Use this time to score ten easy counterattacks in a row.

This is easiest to do with guards with swords. Archers are also good because they also carry swords. You need to find a lone guard and repel his attacks 10 times by pressing right before the moment when he hits you. Press the block button when the enemy's sword is in the air and vertical to his head, a split second when he starts to swing and a split second before he hits you. You're unlikely to be able to do it the first time, just practice a few times.

The best place to do this is by the river, just north of the fast travel point Woesong Bridge in the White Orchard location (the first city you enter in the game), there is a friendly archer there. Attack him and start the battle. The enemy will only hit you and will not kill you, if you do not block his blow, you will simply appear a little to the right directly in front of the archer without any loading and you can try again, but they will take some money from you.

For complete clarity, here is a video hint where this place is.

If you really can’t do 10 in a row, you can find a lone bandit, make a couple of counterattacks, run away from him, save and return to the battle. After missing a beat, load and so on

Received the trophy when he freed the sorceress from prison in Oxenfurt. The head of the guard attacks only with powerful attacks, it is very easy to repel them. It worked the first time

easy to do in a fist fight with the Bloody Baron - let’s press it a little in advance and wait for the achievement

In a fist fight, a counterattack also counts, just hit it 10 times, you don’t even need to hit after it

Be sure to do 10 counterattacks in a row, don’t accidentally make a block. Best in a fight.

Done at the very beginning of the game in Kaer Morhen in training with Vessemir. You are given endless bombs. Knocked it out on the 2nd try.

In my opinion, the easiest way to complete this quest is with the help of two pirates from the Faroe Islands, near the village of Trottheim. You can kill one, and block the blows with the second.

Nabil on the quest "Tell me to my face if you dare." There will be several houses near the entrance to Vronitsy; if you stand with your back to the bridge in Vronitsy, then on the left. There will be a guy standing there who wants a fight. You can make several counterattacks and run away, save to the guards to the bridge. You can do at least one counterattack and run to save)) I did it in several approaches.
The guards don't attack you, and the description of the trophy doesn't say that this should be done in 1 fight)) Just don't hit him, if you take off half of his HP, the fight is over.

I completed the achievement at level 35, went to the entrance to the “Castle of Vronitsa” (Velen) , there are one or two guards standing there at night in front of the bridge. If you moved during the day, meditate until 00:00 and attack the guard. He is level 47, so he makes very powerful sweeping attacks, which are very easy to counterattack. He completed the achievement the first time.
